RE: Life - Death - Meditation -One of the most important Questions you need to ask yourself- And what Steve Jobs was incompetent at
Death is something complicated, our understanding of it varies according to our environment, our experiences, our culture and a lot of other factors, the Vikings, who believed that death was a kind of transition and not an end, were more willing to deliver their lives in a battle of what would be a current person, a fundamentalist Muslim is willing to risk his life in a suicide attack because he believes in something beyond, if you believe that death is the end of everything, then you are more predisposed to value your life and try to enjoy it, if you believe instead that death will only take you to another place, like heaven, then you will be more willing to sacrifice your life or do things you don't like with a greater goal, death It can definitely be a person's biggest motivator, but it all depends on how you interpret the world.
All these are linked to our "idea" about death. It's easy to form a cult around what people don't understand. That's why I specifically avoided talking about life after death and put the life before death on the sidelines. I wanted to focus on the part that's most mysterious. I don't remember dying or being dead. It's an alien experience and the only way we know to conceptualize it is lack of everything there is in our lives.
Thinking and understanding this aspect of life can transform and elevate a person into a higher level. So I like the more practical aspects.
